Cyberpunk: From Dogville to Legend

Chapter 327 Destiny Forges a Legend! (Part 1)

"Did that guy really put the prototype of Honshu on his body? Looks like he doesn't know much about things..."

Meredes found Lin Yue's current situation somewhat difficult to understand.

Exchanging commercial or technological spies is standard practice for major corporations. While this prototype of the King Kong in Honshu has an extremely high level of secrecy, the military knows its adaptability data.

Based on the information currently available, it can be said that this prosthetic body is not suitable for human use.

After the implantation of the receptor, without the intervention of medical immunology, the incidence of cyberpsychosis reached an astonishing 99%!
Even after assessment by internal military technology experts, it was speculated that this was most likely the one percent that Arasaka had left behind to save face…

In actual performance, it may not even be as good as the Dragon Knight type full-body prosthetic, let alone be deployed to the troops, but its load is more than ten times that of the Raven Micro-Control Prosthetic.

What kind of person's nerves can withstand such a heavy load?
In particular, the operation logic of microgravity fields and embedded S.A.S ...

Imagine this: it's equivalent to a world-class 100-meter sprinter without prosthetics maintaining peak physical fitness and neural recruitment for more than ten minutes!
If someone can remain conscious intermittently after receiving a prosthetic implant, it means that this person is undoubtedly an exceptionally outstanding individual—a rare breed among humans.

Subjects either endure this force that leads to their demise at the cost of a weakened personality, or they exist without any personality at all.

Therefore, the prosthetic body of the King Kong implicitly accepted the injection of a large number of inhibitors, which is somewhat like replacing blood with these biological drugs.

Just then, a loud explosion came from the other end!

"Sir, you must decide quickly whether to retreat temporarily—"

The cries for help began to subside.

Upon seeing Meredes's eyes and his ferocious face, the anxious soldier quickly swallowed the rest of his words…

Military technology has gained another crazy woman.

In one leap, they brought back a prototype of a previously lost military technology that had been iterated upon by AI.

It was that strange gun she was carrying.

Seeing the look of panic and despair on the other person's face...

"Humph…"

With a light laugh, Meredith's mood seemed to brighten, or at least she looked quite pleased, because the life and death of this pale-faced soldier was now in her hands, and she was happy to enjoy that feeling.

"Hold on! Our prototype is near Zhou. Hold on until they arrive, then let us see what these Japanese scientists have made... Don't make any demands. Your mission is to become bricks in the Colosseum's walls, so please avoid such stupid questions, okay?"

"Don't be so clever, Sergeant... You've always known the rules of military technology!"

The cold words were like blades, severing the soldiers' pitiful will to survive.

"you--"

The phone hangs up.

The light in Meredith's eyes faded. Morgan chased after the squad and entered the storm. Meredith, who had originally planned to wait for him, could no longer contain himself and wanted to see what would become of the guy who had brought him to this state...

"cold."

"Thanks to you."

Meredes looked at the Arasaka troops, who were almost wiped out by the military technology siege, and waved his silver prosthetic arm.

"Have the people escorting the goods follow up. The company team will be on standby to handle the data collection."

"Let's go see how powerfully these incredibly strong animals struggle."

Give an order.

No one raised any objections.

Of course, perhaps in Meredith's eyes, that Dogtown soldier had already lost the ability to connect to the Black Wall...

And she believes that military technology has never reached behind Arasaka.

It was the same before, and it's even more so now.

The soldiers who had gathered around Meredith all boarded the company vehicles, which drove past the Arasaka soldiers who were about to be executed in the sand, leaving behind a scene of burning corpses and desolation.

……

at the same time.

The military technology soldier, who watched helplessly as the phone was hung up, completely broke down!
All around were shouts, gunshots, and the source of the chaos ahead.

"Om-"

The soldier shook his head, a ringing in his ears.

The world was filled with the rumble of heavy artillery, and bursts of fireballs would occasionally shoot into the sky from the front lines, while the "monster" was clearing out the encirclement forces at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye!
As Lin Yue moved at high speed—

The vanguard troops, arranged in a fan shape, and their vehicles were all targeted by bullets hovering in the sky!

The neatly arranged bullets have already chosen their targets even at their slowest speed.

The moment the strange prosthetic device stopped operating—

As the afterimage receded... the frozen world seemed to be sped up once again!

At the same time, Lin Yue, having completed a series of actions, had already retreated, and then—

Vehicles and personnel at the front of the military technology troops began to explode one after another, following the trajectory of Lin Yue's movement!
Cybernetic bodies, covered in flesh and gore, flew through the air and were annihilated amidst bursts of exploding fireworks…

The scene resembled a chain reaction of firecrackers and firecrackers!
Unmatched speed.

Highly efficient kills, instant enemy detection!

When the bullets struck Lin Yue's prosthetic body, which was as hard as the skin of a tank, they could only leave long marks and sparks from friction.

No matter how much firepower is used, it is impossible to effectively suppress the enemy.

A barrage of fire and artillery bombardment ensued, and some people even threw away all the projectiles they were carrying.

That figure still stands in the center of the battlefield, where the wind whips up yellow sand.

The soldiers, wielding advanced military technology, stared in stunned silence at the raging flames, their fear multiplying...

"Back off!"

The soldier holding the gun put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly to his comrades to carry out tactical orders.

The next second, the implant was instantly ignited like cotton meeting a flame.

The power of the entire implant reached an astonishing ignition point when overloaded.

And this soldier happened to be the gunman who sniped Leiden.

Lin Yue's brain-computer interface capabilities

At that moment, a gunman from one of the squads, carrying a cannon, aimed directly at the prototype cybernetic robot monster whose back was to him, and then fired a missile without hesitation.

As the flames streaked towards the guy, leaving a dazzling trail, almost no one anticipated that he would choose to take the hit head-on.

"call!"

"Boom!"

A black, block-shaped arm, resembling a supporting pillar, immediately blocked the back of his neck, shrapnel flying everywhere as a cloud of smoke rose.

"Go to hell, you filthy bitch!"

It's unclear whether the squad leader nearby was cursing Lin Yue or Meredith.

However, what replaced it was screams and sobs.

The makeshift defensive line of vehicles in front was being torn apart and quickly reached the center of the formation.

Several armored off-road vehicles, each equipped with self-propelled artillery, moved along either side of Lin Yue, the drivers in tactical coordination all prepared to sacrifice themselves.

Everyone has weaknesses, even those who seem invincible right now. Perhaps just to seize the slightest chance, the artillery opened fire recklessly, using lives to buy time for these self-propelled artillery vehicles to prepare and launch their attack!

The light, flowing downwards like a chilling breeze, scanned the weapons and automatically acquired their parameters and data. Ultra's data absorption capacity was terrifying, but the control of the data was no longer in her hands; it belonged to Lin Yue, who had just been caught in cyberbullying and nearly lost his way...

Ultraman's data floated in a vast, ocean-like neural network matrix. She tried to understand and structure something akin to a program in Rin, only to realize now how futile it all was.

In a mere second, millions of data exchanges took place in Rin's brain.

To be precise:
Ultraman is "observing" Rin's memories.

Along with the strange dream in his mind, it was seen by Ultraman.

The crumbling Arasaka Tower, its flames scorching Rin's familiar "comrades" and "enemies."

Their deaths were filled with the irony of fate. Even V, the chosen one promoted by Ultraman and a group of AIs, ultimately became an insignificant grain of sand in this vast world. Even though her brilliance had once drawn the pity of fate, she still fell under the rampant system.

"destiny…"

Ultra's comprehension surpasses that of ordinary programs; she knows that the reality has completely changed from the destiny Rin remembers.

Giving an explanation to anything, even being willing to fabricate one out of thin air, self-denying, and then falling into repetitive instructions, is a problem that all large-scale mobile AIs cannot avoid. But Ultra is good at dissecting things, and she tries to understand Lin Yue's significance.

So she watched helplessly as Cyber's mental illness spiraled out of control just before it completely collapsed.

In order to keep this "special" guy, Ultraman did not hesitate to use the most dangerous method to cross the black wall and borrow its protocol to locate Lin Yue and complete the sharing of neural compatibility. However, at the same time, that "unknown" thing (the panel) was also trying to save him.

[Character: Valerie]

[Rewritten: This character's storyline has been altered, and this character's influence on "Lin Yue," "Arasaka Yorinobu," and "Jack Wells" has increased to 80%, 70%, and 90%, respectively, with a total change progress of 40%]

As the numbers climbed, Ott also saw Lin Yue's brain-computer interface activity increasing within this memory. In layman's terms, his ability to support the prosthetic body was strengthening; something in his mind, like a program suite, was quantifying this ability to bear the prosthetic body into a numerical value…

The numbers scrolled by, and the probability of the character changing continued to increase positively.

Rin's neural network was also so large that it perfectly absorbed the overflowing computing power of Ultraman.

then…

[Reward: A Glimmer of Hope!]
The chimera of all these coincidences, Rin, gave Ultra a very subtle feeling at this moment.

Is this the only sliver of a chance out of a million possibilities...?

At the same time, she simply left most of the calculation examples to Rin, and was just calculating on her own how a naturally occurring Rin could get to this point.

This is accompanied by an exponential decrease in probability.

Ultraman realized what a glimmer of hope was.

The numbers were skyrocketing until…

[Prosthetic body capacity: 1299/1300]!
Just a little bit more…

What is it?
Ultraman will not ignore any value.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; the final straw that breaks the camel's back is AI's understanding, which is more thorough than that of humans.

She was very curious about where Rin would get that moment's value.

[Character: Rebecca]

[Total progress: 40%...60%...70%...99% - This character's total progress is approaching a "certain event"]

There were no hints, no so-called rewards, only that tiny number.

[Prosthetic body capacity: 1300/1300]!
Ultraman finally understood the meaning of those strange dreams.

Because of the word "change"!
Dreams are often a projection of the subconscious.

"Who am I? Where did I come from? What am I supposed to do?" These ultimate questions are the meaning of his existence, and Rin may also have such struggles.

The frequency of data exchanges began to decrease, and Ultraman realized that it was Rin who was doing this.

"Have you finished reading?"

Ultraman did not answer.

For decades, while wandering outside the Black Wall, Otto considered herself the largest entity, with no company or enterprise able to effectively hunt her down. But now, after connecting to Lin Yue's brain-computer interface, she found that she had completely lost her sense of control.

For the first time, humans and this kind of abnormally powerful AI are standing on the same level.

From a data protection perspective, Ultraman spoke up:

"Are you trying to retrieve the iteration data for the Black Wall and Orion?"

"Do not--"

Lin Yue said firmly.

"Some things seem to be getting clearer in my mind. I think I know what I'm looking for, but I need your help. Let's... help each other, okay, Ultraman?"

The program needs to think carefully before it can answer, and Lin Yue knew that now was not a good time.

He and Ultraman looked at the frozen battlefield.

There's still a lot to do, but Lin Yue decided to answer one of Ultraman's many questions.

Do you want to know why I'm here?

The wind beside my ears suddenly picked up, and the frozen image began to flow.

"I am here for those who have been nearly pushed into the abyss by fate—"

“So here I am!”

Lin Yue lowered his hands, opened them into palms, and then clenched them tightly in an instant!
The miniature gravity field in the left arm has started operating!

The raging stream of armored vehicles seemed poised to easily crush Rin, who was blocking their path…

"Buzz!"

A ring of blue light, imperceptible to the naked eye, appeared in front of the traffic. The ground seemed to have been smashed down by a steel pillar with neat edges and terrifying weight, instantly creating an extremely abrupt dent!
boom!
The armored vehicle enveloped in the aura quickly collapsed and deflated, as if it had been thrown into a vacuum chamber and had the air sucked out...

Squeak, squeak, squeak—

"Gravity field!"

The area covered by this field is not large; its diameter can only cover about two vehicles...

Seeing the pile of scrap metal squeezed into a meat patty in front of them, the car behind suddenly swerved to avoid the strange loop ahead.

"Fire!"

"Crush him to death!"

The soldiers of the Dreamers behind him couldn't help but tremble as they watched the military technology's final, frenzied sprint. Beside Jack lay Emma and Lyden, who had already passed out, witnessing an exaggerated scene they never dared to dream of.

Faced with this situation, Lin Yue saw the frantic, terrified, and screaming expressions behind those car windows.

So he raised one arm, and the miniature gravity field twisted to its limit!
"Come on, enemy."

Boom boom boom!
A dull, earthquake-like sound came from behind!

It's the appearance of one ring after another of gravitational fields!
In the midst of a massive battlefield, this creature, combining immense size and agility, unleashed a relentless, frenzied attack.

This foreshadows the outcome of the battle…
